Cert-LAS: Toward Certified Model Ownership Verification for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models via Layer-Adaptive Smoothing

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.29809v1 Announce Type: cross Large-scale text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have enabled unprecedented creative applications, but their unauthorized use has raised serious intellectual property concerns, making model ownership verification (MOV) increasingly critical. We find that existing backdoor-based diffusion watermarking methods often (implicitly) assume a "faithful" verification process, namely, that the verifier can query a suspicious model and obtain the faithful watermark response to complete.
